i By Universal Service.)
The effect of suffrage ratification
on the political complexion of the
next Senate was seriously discussed
by party leaders here, following receipt
of the news of the Tennessee |
legislature's action
Democratic leaders asserted that
they will regain control of the Senate
through the defeat of three off
the most important seats now held ;
by the Republicans. They claim that
Senator Brandegee will be defeated
in Connecticut, Senator Moses In
New Hampshire and Senator Reea ;
Smoot in Utah as a result of the giving
of universal suffrage to women. \
lamming* to Ran.
It was announced at Democratic I
committee headquarters that Homer I
S. Cummings. former chairman of j
the national committee, will now be j
the Democratic nominee against j
Senator Brandegee.
The same state of affairs prevails!
In New Hampshire, whose senior
Senator. Moses. has steadfastly1
fought the amendment. He is cer-?
tain now to draw the fire of the '
women voters in his St^te.
To Fight Smoot.
In Utah the race will be between I
Smoot and J. H. Moyle, now an As- j
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, i
Smoot fought the amendment fori
many years, but voted for it when
it was finally brought before the j
Senate. Moyle was at Democratic;
headquarters today gathering data
on Smoot's record.
It is probable also that the women i
voters will cause some trouble in j
Pennsylvania for Boies Penrose, who
comes up this time for re-election. !
Penrose opposed the amendment ev- i
erv time he got a rhance.
In New York the fight will be
against Senator Wadsworth. always
an opponent of suffrage.
Democrata C onfident.
The Democrats expect to hold
their own in all the other States
where Democratic Senators are up ;
for re-election. In practically all of
these States the incumbents voted j
for suffrage
If the Democrats succeed, with i
the help of the women, in defeating
Brandagee. Mosis and Smoot, they
will have fifty members and the !
Republicans wil have forty-six. thus '
giving the Democrats a majority of 1
four.

thing you need to do now to please j
, the suffragists, all you need to do
for us is to stay at home for two j
days.' We are confident that none '
of the men who voted for us today |]
will agree to such tactics.
"The vote in the House showed ,
we had one more vote than the nec- !.
essary majority of fifty, since the
two men who failed to vote were!,
strong suffragists. One of them
was unable to leave his home because
of his own illness, the other
was with his wife who is critically
ill. Both of those absent men w#re '
Republicans. In addition to those
two men fourteen Republican members
voted for ratification, which .
means that the Republicans have .
enlisted on the side of ratification '
more than a majority of their delegation
in the House."
Colby Ready to Aet.
Bainbridge Colby. Secretary of !
State, told suffrage leaders that he t
was prepaied to proclaim the worn- j
an s suffrage amendment ratified as |
soon as he had received official no- t
tice from that State that action had ,
been taken. He made it plain, how- j
ever, that he could take no steps j
before that time
^ The opponents of woman's sufI
fraae stated that in the event the
motion to reronsider the ratification
resolution was passed today they !
would fight a proclamation of rati- I
fication by' th?- Secretary of State ! ,
on the basis that action in Tonnes- !
see. Virginia and New Hampshire i
was unconstitutional. They ton- |
tended that the provision of the '
constitution of Tennesee requiring I 1
that the legislature voting on the
ratification of a Federal amendment '
be elected on that issue has not been |

ratified the Nineteenth amendment

the national franchise is extended
to 27,000,000 women and makes
the political democracy of the

a fight that has been waged
since 1848, when Lucrctia Mott
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton called
together at Sencca Falls, X. V.,
the first woman's rights convention.
From that time on the suffrage

after the expenditure of time, money
jand health, after repeated arrests
I and jail sentences, American

D. C.. political chairman. National

Mabel \ernon. Wilmington. Del.,
secretary. National Woman's party:
"With ratification of the Federal
suffrage amendment by the thirtysixth
State American women have
at last caught up with the women
of the twenty-one foreign countries
in which full suffrage has been for
years a fact. In no other country
has a harder or longer struggle b^en
needed in order to secure real political
democracy. Women are happy
at their victory today, but they
are also very tired."
Anita Pollitzer, Charleston. S. C.,
Secretary of the Legislative Committee
of the National Woman's
Party: "The campaign for suffrage
ratification has meant just as strenuous
work on the part of the memI
hers and officers of the National
Roman's Party as the campaign to

I that the victory which is ours today
Is a result of no mere chance, no
gift of politicians or statesmen, but
of earnest and devoted work, of repeated

was more precious than ease
and comfort."

Women now will be able to vole

i is blocked in the courts or a re
consideration changes the result.
The vote in the house came with
dramatic suddenness after an ineffectual
attempt to table the resolution
of ratification had been made.

argument will be that the State constitution
forbade action by this session

I Aside from this and the posibilitv
